Decide to try a faith build since I never used miracles in this game

There are no words in any human languages to express just how bad this game is.

literally git gud. Even the lowest stamina gives you like 5 rolls before you run out

>No raw weapon
>No lightning blade
Shit faith build is shit, who knew?

miracles fag gtfo

>you have no STR or DEX so your melee weapons don't do damage
What are elemental & status weapons, you turd

Stellar replies as expected from retarded fromfaggots. Literally defending shit game design.

The game is shit but your build is fucking horrible. What the fuck

>shit design
But OP is just cherrypicking, FTH builds are viable if you arent completely retarded as he is. I dont think games suited towards reading are his style

Straight up retards in this thread, this is pointless.

>make gf roll faith
>go quality build
>every single invader died to her wrath of god surprise attack because they cant reach her, stop her healing or ranged attacks
>all while I did absolutely fuckall but hit their shields or take light jabs at them

Its the best co op partner to have, even with just force and standing near a ledge you kill 9/10 retards

>Get a lightning weapon or something that scales with faith
>Upgrade your bell

WOW SO HARD

>you have no stamina to guard or avoid attack like Aldrich's rain of bullshit

Even fatrollers can avoid that

You're a dumbass if you purely pumped FTH, plus you need to wear the miracle rings to get respectable damage, casters have always been like this no matter the souls game. Just poise-boosted lightning stake Aldrich, that's all I had to do. Then go grab the holy corona from the painted world because it's a fun spell in pve.

You should know to avoid caster builds by now.

>make a bad build
>get mad because it doesn't work
>call the game bad on Sup Forums
Nice work, user.

I said this when the game came out.

The stat requirements for things are too high. Will you eventually get the stats you need to use things? Of course. But by making them so high you literally can't have a viable build early in the game that isn't a one handed "quick" weapon. You can't dual wield effectively early on, you can't use a two hander effectively early on, magic is shit in this game. It absolutely murders replay value.

Dark Souls 2 may have been shit, but at least you could use whatever the fuck you wanted in the first 10 minutes of the game.

This game is the worst in the series but you're also incredibly bad. Any build is viable in pve.

People who think caster is shit are retarded

faith was never meant to be caster only even in ds1 the goddamn cleric selling you miracles was holding a shield and mace

Its a fucking cleric mongoloid they have never been a jesus version of mage

Its called a miracle for a reason, not a spell.

And the whole mage is shit is a meme, as an invader or host you have the widest range of useful spells to catch people off guard and using hidden body you can almost entirely bypass all enemies in the game or single them out and oneshot them

Even if youre shitty early on you will never be as shitty as a str greatsword build is, literally gives up and dies against anyone with a shortbow and enough patience to be a cunt and chip your health to 0 kek

The whole reason this stupid shit feels worthless to you is the player made restriction that level 120 is the cap if it didnt exist it would be irrelevant what you "build" just what you use would matter

This is actually my first souls experience, and am still running around the 2nd area. What are some goods tips for a beginner so i can git gud faster?

What's your username on reddit, OP?

The entire game is about pattern recognition.

play a regular build with a sword and shield until you reach around lvl 70 and then respec to whatever you want. by then you have spells and items that make your builds viable instead of being super weak at the start and struggling.

DS2>DS3 unironically

Learn to parry well and you can effectively cuck all invaders, get a shortbow and you can rape all heavy builds and one ultra greatsword for cucking dex fags and youre pretty much unstopable, go for a quality build which is 40dex 40 str, can use any weapon with this and by the end of the game you can upgrade like 7 weapons to 10

Ditch Dark Souls 3, and play a real Souls game instead, 1 or 2.

Unironically turn 360 degrees and get off this board.

>faith build
>just smack things with a stick lmao, who cares that you're not using miracles and are a strictly worse version of a Dex.Str build.

I went with Herald thinking spear and shield would be a nice beginning combo. I ended up swapping for a halberd, and now longsword. Also been using a staff and magic arrows.

>he doesn't play DS3 for 11 hours straight

you must be extremely gifted my friend.
faith build is the strongest build in the game

Don't listen to this fag, 1 is way better than 2.

Don't listen to these fags, the only good one is DeS.

casuals don't like part 1, nob.

>people unironically like dark souls 1 combat

First game I played, glad its not as slow as shit combat anymore. Seriously unplayable after experiencimg ds2 and 3

If you don't have enough points in your damage stat to do enough damage, maybe it's time to add some points to your stats.
>>you have no stamina to guard or avoid attack like Aldrich's rain of bullshit
Come on now, all it takes to avoid that attack is to sprint for a few seconds.

I shit all over this game with a Fa/Int build that uses Chaos and Dark weapons. I the minimum required Str/Dex for light weapons and minimal Vigor/End to get that 40/40 in Fa/Int as early as possible.

Git gud, faggot.

>If you don't have enough points in your damage stat to do enough damage, maybe it's time to add some points to your stats.
I agree, he should stop putting his points in Faith, and instead respec everything to Str. Everyone knows you don't use Faith in a Faith build.

Lothric Knight Greatsword
That's all you really need.

>if I post in the 3rd person, people won't know I'm the OP

I'm guessing you did something retarded like pumping 60 points into Faith before any other stat was touched, and then geared yourself out in shitty rag armor and no weapons or a shield to support your nonexistent equipment load. So you run into battle with nothing but a miracle catalyst, attempt to stand still and cast miracles but get your face raped off. Now here you are on Sup Forums to complain that the problem with DS3 is that your awful Faith build is unplayable.

Bravo.

>Two people cannot possibly share an opinion that Sup Forums almost unanimously agreed with when DaS3 came out.

What opinion is that? That Faith builds are weaker than every other build? So then why are you bitching about underwhelming Faith builds? Why are proposing that underwhelming Faith builds ruined the entire game? Why are you choosing a Faith build, knowing it will be underwhelming, only to turn around and bitch that it's underwhelming? Are you retarded? Did you do it because you're retarded?

>Why are you choosing a Faith build, knowing it will be underwhelming, only to turn around and bitch that it's underwhelming?
>he still thinks I'm OP.
You're embarrassing yourself, man. Look at yourself, you can't even conceive of the idea of the why someone trying faith for the first time would be incredibly disappointed.

>get DS3 on launch
>every game I do quality
>time for something else
>had a blast in DS1 with a knight plus 30 FTH for some options
>let's do that
>miracles are utterly useless
>weapon damage much lower than quality
>end up respeccing
What was I supposed to do? Be prescient?

So respec or use one of the faith based weapon options to salvage a build that isn't scaling well.

Diversify your build. There are a handful of Faith based builds that are very strong. There isn't a pure Faith build that is very strong. You were supposed to not be retarded and judge how well your build idea was shaping up.
